Everytime I log onto Ebay or Yahoo this site pops up along with them, its a 4 question survey and its getting really annoying. Can anyone tell me what the heck this is and how to stop it. I ran my virus scan, registry mechanic, cleaned out cookies, and even put the sit eon my blocked list but its still coming up....

As garywa suggested, you can block pop-ups at the browser level in IE & Firefox

ForceField (standalone) gave Yellow Caution Banner for site.

All script were block by NoScript Ad-ons in Firefox.

Adblock Plus Firefox Add-ons also block site.

If site not block you could check hosts file for malware entries.I have the hosts file lock in ZoneAlarm.

Note : Lock hosts file.

Prevents your computer's hosts file from being modified by hackers through sprayer or Trojan horses. Because some legitimate programs need to modify your hosts file in order to function, this option is turned off by default.

I must admit that I think something else is going on here based on the OP's original question and several search results I read when I Googled thewebsitesurvey.com

I'm logged into Yahoo every day - its my web browser home page. I also log into eBay almost every day and I do not get those popups with either site.

I have nothing special set in either IE or ZA to block it. I'm just not sure what is going on with this site Its not widespread based on the few search results I got, but it sounds like something has gotten onto these affected PCs that brings up the survey.

Hi gojira,

In dealing with the popups from thewebsitesurvey, my recommendation to you is to get your computer checked out by a malware expert. I suggest you read this and post the required logs here
